I would always get so worked up at people making fun of me for my looks and what not. I stopped caring years ago though sometimes I do listen and do believe in what people say...So yeah I need to work on that a little more. ^___^U

When I first read your response, my first reaction was "wow that is pretty selfish and despicable." But then I gave it some thought, and perhaps you and I grew up in different surroundings. Or perhaps I wasn't specific enough. What I meant was to watch what you say around adults. I mean I grew up in an environment where respect was a tad bit more focused on. However, that doesn't mean we were very formal, as we still diss every cousin, uncle, aunt, dad, mom, everyone like crazy; but ultimately there is a line we do not cross. So I don't know if you are someone who might cross that line when you say you don't care how mean things get.

So I would assume you would be brave enough to even give your boss at work the one finger salute??

Re: Life and Lessons Learned!

-_- Most of my life lessons taught to me aren't always "friendly"... or rather, I learned them the hard way. >_> I took the lessons the wrong way, and as punishment, I've grown rather "weak" in some of my attributes.

But it took me years to figure out what those lessons truly meant... I just had to shut my own thoughts out to figure it out.

Anywho...
I don't know which lesson I should say. For some people, these lessons were really obvious.. so... erm... I guess I'll just blurt out two things and see how it goes.

1. Listen. Listen please. Always listen. Just be quiet and watch. Know how lucky you are to be able to express yourself, but realize how much of a curse it is to you and everyone else... before anything; listen and watch. Don't think, don't be sure... KNOW.

2. All things are a part of life. ALL things. Even your "annoying" parents, NPC-like teachers, backstabbing friends, useless strangers, bothersome flies, friendly dog, simple creatures, and etc etc etc. . . . . BUT MOST OF ALL!! Know that YOU are a part of life, that you are the same as all of them. And each of you have a responsibility for each other.

Re: Life and Lessons Learned!

The things I learnt from my experiences in life
None.

Just kidding.

If you think about it, I was born like an egg yoke. I didn’t know what was beyond the shell, I only knew of the easy customs that surrounded me. I was getting used to the simple lifestyle, life without any pain as I see it. Except for the times I saw my pups’ lifeless bodies, their eyes rolled back onto their heads, being marched upon by cruel and thoughtless flesh eating ants.
And when I didn’t get me pokemon cards.

A n y w a y!

Then I moved from my country to another [well, more like forced to] in search of high chances of success.
There, well here now … I learnt the plays of life, the hard, monotonous way.
First it was the physical part. I was used to complaining others if I didn’t get to my desired places on time, or if I had to walk more than my selfish self allowed me to. HERE I walked about 90 minutes from home to school and back. I soon realized that there was more than met the eye and it was too early [or rather late], to renounce.
Ahahaha, I cant believe how futile I was O.o

The next was the mental part, the most challenging part yet. I learnt a lot of things. More than the miles I had to saunter.
I shouldn’t be so close-minded like I was before to different people.
I should get used to what life has to offer me and see beyond the horizon, and to make as much as I can other than black and white.
When it comes to love I should be more careful and not to allow other people to get the best of me. [wehehehehe]
… same with any other situation in life.
T h e b e s t m a n g a c a n e v e r b e f o u n d I n t h e s c h o o l l I b r a r y.
Sure there are better people than me out there, so I need to use the feeling of being let down as my fuel and race past them.
You can get taller if you walk a lot!
Looks really don’t matter [don’t ask about that one, loooong story] it’s just a part of life and you never know! What life has in store for you!
Learn to forgive. It will make your chest feel lighter.
Never trust public trains!
Don’t ever cheat. In exams yeah sure! *notices Soshi* Ahhmm.. ahh you know …!

You are right. I did grow up in different surrondings but I still am respectful to adults...which is different where I live now because. But that's because I know how to play the game. And I do cross that line you mentioned to a certain extent and that's usually when I'm mad and or I when I prove to people how right I am when they think I'm wrong and then I tell them how wrong they are and how dumb they are for saying it. If my boss ever gets me angry to a certain extent then well yeah. But that won't happen because when I get out of college I'm going to work for myself.

Re: Life and Lessons Learned!

The best lesson I've learned is to not to take things too close to your heart- if a guy leaves you it's his fault.

Another one is to be strong- if you can't stand up for yourslef noone will, also you should be able to laugh about yourself, about your stipid mistakes...

Another thing I've learned is to watch out of drunk people- they ussually don't even understand what they're doing and will easily hurt you...

And the things that Anime Online has tought me are:
1. not to be shy,
2. give your opinions about things and let them be complete,
3. poems are not such a bad thing after all, poems can be beautifull,
4. you can be happy when you're single and
5. post your works, let the world see them and tell if they're good

Re: Life and Lessons Learned!

i learned a few life lessons that made me
belive like i do now , for one there is respect
for others because i have kept to my self for
so long i take a freindship and aprciate it more than
most.

i also learned that loving donst come easy because
of how i have always been because of a bad relationship
16 years ago but in the end really life has many lessons
and its up to you to see them or just ignore them.

I'll be the one to protect you from your enemies and all your demons
I'll be the one to protect you from a will to survive and a voice of reason
I'll be the one to protect you from your enemies and your choices son
They're one in the same, I must isolate you...
Isolate and save you from yourself
